Recent moves by industry giants like Siemens Energy and Hitachi Energy to roll out SF6-free switchgear at transmission ...

The tanks are made to hold sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), an electrical insulator that was once used to fill race car tires, tennis balls and even Nike Air Max shoes.

The EconiQ portfolio is an alternative solution for high-voltage equipment such as gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), gas-insulated lines (GIL), dead tank breakers (DTBs) and hybrid switchgear. New ...

The volume of SF6 released in 2018 is less than half of what it was a decade prior, but still equaled the annual greenhouse gas emissions of 2.1 million automobiles, according to the Environmental ...

SF6 is a colorless, odorless, non-flammable, and non-toxic gas, but with a 23,500 times greater global warming potential than CO2. SF6 is used in the electrical industry as a gaseous dielectric ...

This gas is present at a low fraction, less than 5% of the mixture, and it’s less potent than SF6, Heimbach says. But C4-fluoronitriles are still powerful greenhouse gases, up to a few thousand ...

A greenhouse gas 24,000 times more powerful than carbon dioxide is being driven up by China’s growing electricity needs, according to a new study. CO2 is the number one greenhouse gas on our ...
